(47) I Am Batman

I patrol in my backyard,
Cruising im my pedal car.
I can see the Joker.
Well, it's really a toy clown;
Locked safely away in the toy shed.

I am looking for Two Face,
A teddybear that my dog ripped.
So my Mum sewed up his face.
But now he is out there, free;
I must track him down.

I search for him in the kitchen,
There I spot the Scarecrow.
It is a puppet, long and thin.
I must stop in my search now,
So I can tackle with my foe.

I put the Scarecrow behind bars.
My search continues, relentless!
I see Two Face hiding in the lounge;
I now creep up, slowly behind him.
I pounce, the battle is long, but I win.

That scarred teddybear is put away,
Where he won't harm anymore toys.
My Batcave awaits, up in my bedroom.
I am sleepy, my eyes are feeling tired.
I am Batman, even I must sleep!

the flow is strange but yet effective, clever. the analogy is clear and beautiful, good style, prose is near perfect ..... well done

Great fun Chris. You're a natural storyteller. If you haven't already got kids, think this points to you being a good dad.

I remember playing those games! I remember playing with my brother's toys (since he never touches them) and playing good vs evil. It was fun... Good days... I wish I still have those toys so I can play them again... :)

You... my friend... can make anyone smile. I love this poem! It's brilliant and very entertaining. Wonderful! Bravo!

Brings all us overgrown boys back. And even though it's a much longer journey for me than most, I'm so happy I made it.
Sweet, familiar images, slightly hazy with age, portray a time when everything was possible; when fun was the only occupation.
This strikes a true chord, Chris, and may well last longer than all of us.

I can always enjoy a poem referencing comics. I like the short almost disjointed sounding lines, it makes the work feel more like a little kid talking through verse.

[Stef Outsiders]

aww every boy's dream! I could see a little boy playing batman... bless! i love it!

[Zeitgeist Manifesto]

This poem is so awesome! It brought back memories
and put a smile on my face.

Made me thinking of a little kid running around in his underwear with a blanket tied around him as a cape pretending he is Batman. This was a fun read. It was really innocent and the imagery was well thought out. The poem was well written in my opinion and was highly amusing.

This is cute, kindly...reminds me of a childhood long gone...
